TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Many people have misconceptions about intelligent people, leading to the creation of certain assumptions or myths. Unfortunately, many of these assumptions are inaccurate, so it is important to be cautious in labeling individuals.To avoid further misconceptions, here are some common myths about intelligent people that need to be reconsidered as reported by Bolde:1. HumilityHumility is not directly related to intelligence. There are intelligent people who are humble, but there are also those who are not. This greatly depends on their personality and the environment in which they grew up.2. ArroganceThere are intelligent individuals who tend to be arrogant and look down on others who are considered not at the same level intellectually or socially. However, there are also those who are courteous and respect everyone regardless of their background.3. Working at the Top LevelIntelligence can indeed boost someone's career, so they do not need to be trapped in rough jobs, be in low-wage labor, or live in hardship. Although intelligence provides opportunities to achieve good jobs, not all smart people are fortunate enough to reach them.4. Always RightSome people may think that whatever smart people say is always correct. However, it should be noted that they are also ordinary humans who can make mistakes and have limitations.5. Looking Strange and AwkwardIntelligent people are often labeled as strange and awkward individuals, characterized by thick glasses and poorly dressed. However, don't be mistaken-many intelligent people also have a stylish and appealing appearance with contemporary fashion.6. Dislike Small TalkIntelligent people are often seen as disliking casual conversations. They are expected to always want to discuss heavy topics such as politics, literature, philosophy, or music. However, this is just a stereotype. In reality, many smart people actually enjoy light conversations, such as talking about the weather or the results of a soccer match.7. Mastering EverythingIt is true that intelligent people tend to be thirsty for knowledge, they read a lot, actively explore new things, and never stop learning. However, the assumption that they master all fields is just a myth. In fact, intelligence does not automatically make someone a walking encyclopedia. Most smart people actually focus on delving into specific specializations, and outside of that field, their knowledge may not be much different from ordinary people.Editor's Choice: 15 Most Democratic Countries in the World, Norway Ranked 1stClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News
